Amethi Viral Video: In a quest for social media attention, a young man from Amethi of Uttar Pradesh has gone viral to cross the line of safety. Now widely seen in the video, the youth performs daring push-ups on a board approximately 10 meters above the road. His stunt, a plan in making the best eye-catching reels, has sparked much concern in various people’s minds.
Daring Stunt on a Signboard Goes Viral
He has reportedly viral video-recorded his daring act by climbing on to a signboard in Amethi. In addition to all that, he also did push-ups on the elevated platform and put those videos out on social media for the whole world to view in internet wisdom, which then went viral from there and spread across various platforms.
The video was posted by an X (formerly Twitter) user Pavan Kumar and since then has brought tremendous attention to the dangerous trend of creating extreme stunts for social media clout. And even as the video racks up likes and shares, it hints at the intensity of people’s desire for validation on social media, even at the cost of safety.
Amethi Police Takes Action
The government has not taken this incident lightly. Amethi Police noticed the viral video and have started an inquiry into it. In an official statement, they said, “The matter is in the cognizance of Amethi Police Station. The viral video is being investigated and after investigation, necessary legal action will be taken against the persons performing the stunts as per the rules.”
The incident reminds one of how low some people go to get social media fame at the cost of self-endangerment. While the video might indeed entertain for a few seconds, such action has also been known to have disastrous consequences, and the police involvement indicates that the law may have its say in this instance.
